“I think nobody really wanted to talk about it, and it’s good that we got that third one out of the way. So I’m sure guys have been thinking about it a little bit throughout the year, but hopefully, from now on, we can just keep playing well and then extend this win streak.”

“It’s nice having three in a row, but more importantly, we beat a team that we need to keep behind us. They’ve got games in hand on us, and we want to finish as high as we can in the standings. To do that, we have to win games, especially games against teams that are in our division that we want to pass, so I think that was the most important part of it.”

“I wouldn’t say it was a tough start for the goaltender. I would say tough start for our team. That was right from the first shift. We were guilty. The five of us were out there right away and couldn’t get out, then it was a turnover and into an empty net. I don’t know what you want Ingy to do on that one, and the next one’s a breakaway, I don’t know how long later, so a lot of self-inflicted stuff that we can clean up.”

“Never in doubt. That’s hockey sometimes. You start late, but as the game went on, we knew we had to make a push on the third and this team is always in it. That’s a good example, right there. As a good team, we need to start better. The first period was bad, and then after that I thought we were playing better. Big two points.”

“I’ve kind of figured out around here, you just have to be good. You don’t have to steal games or do things like that, you’ve just got to make the saves you’re supposed to. When you’ve got some of the best players in the world, they’re going to do their job, too.

“So, even when you get behind in the start of the game, you’re just thinking, ‘Shut it down, we’ve still got a chance at this.’ We can score goals. We can come back on anybody. So, it’s fun to watch from down there. It’s more fun to be on this side.”

“There were moments in the third where we needed to continue to make plays and push forward and we didn’t do enough of that. They’re the best offensive team in the world and you have to defend the two best players in the world. We did some good things, we did some things we could get better at.”

“I think we went into defense mode a bit too early. We got back on our heels a little bit. I thought they had a good push and we sat back a little bit too much and they scored.

“Edmonton is a very good team, they showed that the last several years. It’s not an easy game. I thought we played well for 40 minutes. There are always things we can do better, but I thought in the third we sat back too much and let them take over the game.”
